Dragon Quest IX screens come to town
Square Enix has released new screens of Dragon Quest IX for the first time in what seems likeforever. And it looks really great, of course, like a handheld continuation of what Level-5 did with Dragon Quest VIII.
The day-night cycle from previous Dragon Quests returns, as does the more accurately-scaled world map from the last game. You can see the monsters roaming around and avoid them rather than getting stuck in random battles. This is, of course, great for getting yourself back to an inn, and terrible for forcing yourself to level-grind.
But it's the town environments that really impress us. The town screenshots, both external and inside shops, have a very warm, inviting look about them. We can only hope this game actually comes out in March so we can get an English version sooner!
